I congratulate these folks on their work to making these products more secure. But it pisses me off a bit that multibillion dollar companies exploit labor to do this for them. Sure, a few folks get paid out but probably plenty of participan

Congrats on the exit, but PE is going to saddle the company with unnecessary debt, extract as much value it can, charge “consulting fees”, then strip it for parts in bankruptcy. Customers are going to feel the squeeze in 1-2 years.

The common issue I notice amongst companies that fail to admit fault is that they are _public_. Admitting fault means a poor market signal. Poor market signal means leadership perceived as inept and “failing to deliver shareholder value”. O

“National security” is such a bs term for US govt to avoid transparency. It comes from the post 9/11 era of FISA courts, PATRIOT act to justify wide net domestic surveillance and wiretapping. To me, the whole banning of TT is political
